A STUDENT was stabbed to death as he took his ­younger brother for a haircut.

Murbarak Ali, 23, was ­allegedly attacked by a man who asked him to go ­outside as he sat in a ­barber’s shop with Abdi, 17, on Friday.

Witnesses said youths had fought with knives near a playground in ­Sharrow, ­Sheffield, earlier. Somalian-born Murbarak, known as Yahya, had ­just finished a sociology degree at Sheffield Hallam University.

His aunt Nimao Bodleh, 28, from Sheffield, said: “There was no provocation. No words were exchanged, he just stabbed him.”

As police hunted the ­killer, support worker Hannah Suwalski said: “There’s so many cultures here, they were bound to collide.”
